I work hourly and my 14 hos is up and I'm still being unloaded. Does anyone know if I still get paid until they finished even though I had to clock of due to my hos?

HOS:

Hours Of Service

HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.

Big Ben, although I am a Swifty I am paid CPM , stop-pay and dispatch pay. Your compensation depends on your contract. Is your hourly pay for both driving and on-duty? If so is the rate for driving and on-duty the same? Regardless of extending beyond your 14 hours on-duty, you can legally work beyond that as long as you are not driving. Just keep in mind it will push your PTA further out.

I suggest asking your DM to be sure.

Dm:

Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager

The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.

CPM:

Cents Per Mile

Drivers are often paid by the mile and it's given in cents per mile, or cpm.

Definitely asking her to clarify this is a good idea. Based on what you wrote, it stands to reason you will get paid for the hours worked on-duty beyond your 14.

Safe travels.
